Has anyone seen any female INLINE BNC connectors to buy?
Or, is there another method to accomplish this?

You can use these:

Or you can do what I did.
1. Remove spring from connector.
2. Drill out connector back with 11/32" drill.
3. Tap connector shell using 3/8-32 tap.
4. Solder #16 wire to solder cup on back of BNC female.
5. Stick wire through connect grommet in Amphenol connector.
6. Screw BNC into connector shell. Tighten.
7. Solder wire to Amphenol connector grommet.
8. Cut wire, smooth with file.

Presto! Instant, sort of, Amphenol Microphone to BNC adapter.
